Troma Films' Toxic Avenger series shows its lack of legs with the second sequel to its 1985 hit. Despite a typically absurd premise, which has Toxie battling Satan to save his hometown of Tromaville, the film lacks the go-for-broke gags and gore that made the first two films such guilty pleasures. Part of the reason for this may be that the movie was culled from footage shot for The Toxic Avenger, Part II; Troma heads Lloyd Kaufman (who also helmed the feature) and Michael Herz simply stitched together Part III from the loose ends. While haphazard construction is part of the charm of Troma's films, the relatively high quality of the Toxic Avenger series raised the bar, and the slapdash nature of Part III is more of a disappointment than a campy source of humor. True to their nature, Troma disregarded the drubbing this film received and completed a fourth entry, Citizen Toxie. --Paul Gaita
DVD features
Troma head Lloyd Kaufman contributes another seat-of-his-pants commentary track for this full-screen DVD. A second commentary by regular Troma repertory player Joe Fleishaker is included, and it must be pointed out that both tracks do not exactly provide a wealth of information. Both Kaufman and Fleishaker repeatedly declare that their memory is somewhat faulty regarding this film, so if you're looking for the definitive behind-the-scenes story on Part III, you won't find it here. The supplemental features are rounded out by several new interviews with cast and crew members, trailers for all four Toxie features, a strange short called "Naked Dance of the Damned Fat," and a hilarious clip of Troma's Sgt. Kabukiman in England that's worth the price of the DVD. --Paul Gaita
-The New York Post
"Troma’s ‘Intolerance,’ with bigger sets and higher aspirations."
-Tim Ferrante, Imaginews
"A two-fisted Fautian fantasy that will keep you riveted to your seat until the final radioactive reel!"
Description
The New York Post raves, proclaiming Toxic Avenger III to be "Troma’s ‘Intolerance,’ with bigger sets and higher aspirations." The third 35mm theatrical hit in director Lloyd Kaufman’s wildly successful Toxic Avenger series finds our hideously deformed creature of superhuman size and strength battling his most formidable foe to date- the Devil himself! He's cleaned up Tromaville. He's conquered Tokyo. The Toxic Avenger series has set a new standard for independent action/comedies, transcending the limitations of low-budget filmmaking to become a bona fide worldwide phenomenon! The Toxic Avenger Part III continues this tradition in high style with eye-popping, gut-wrenching special effects, explosive action, and the unmistakably Tromatic sense of humor.
